You can basically call axe the ultimate noobbasher. We had an Axe going mid instead of our Shadow Fiend and saying "dont worry guys i got this". I thought he would fail horribly, but he actually got first blood and around 5 kill around minute 10. He didnt gank my lane so I was wondering how he was pulling it off...
And indeed, he had maxed out Battle Hunger. He was just camping in the nearby woods and spamming it on the enemy heroes who were so fucking bad that they couldnt even last hit. I mean seriously. They didnt even try to. Axe was just standing there regenerating from his bottle and spamming it, while they slowly died.
He continued to do this about 20 more times during the game.[B]Why do people not know how to last hit[/B](maybe they didnt even know what battlehunger does???).Thank fucking god they werent on my team.

Exactly. Axe STOMPS retards because they can't last hit while getting harassed.

BS STOMPS retards because of his health restore passive, I mean I can just last hit and deny the fuck out of my lane and autoattack my laning opponents because they are TERRIBAD at harassing and any time they manage to get me low I get right back up in seconds. Sometimes they think they can finish me off and I just keep lh/denying the creeps around me and they stand there oblivious as if I wasn't gaining massive amounts of HP every few seconds.
[QUOTE=Godrek;34124849]Except for int treads[/QUOTE]
oh right oops
probably accidentally changed them to INT in the heat of the battle.

Yeah, there are lots of good pubstomping heroes. I just prefer axe because it's insulting.

Its a very ordinary build for Drow, though it works very well. I use it myself, though I preffer Helm of the Dominator over MoM. If the game goes long enough i'd upgrade that to a Satanic.
I've got so many tips. But I'll suck in Dota 2 anyway.

Oh no, Russians in a translated game! Seriously, what did you expect?
They think the same about you. "Ебучие пиндосы повсюду" (fucking Americans everywhere, they call most of English-speaking people American).
[QUOTE=Demeschik;34125276]Oh no, Russians in a translated game! Seriously, what did you expect[/QUOTE]
Why arent the russians in TF2 this bad then? Honestly I have no problem with russians, outside of the MOBA genre.

MOBA games are considered cool, smart and stylish. LoL has too colorful graphics, WC3's DotA is old, HoN is too complicated. Dota 2 is the best way for them to get into MOBA games.
And Russians are limited to the country's servers in TF2. The ping is too big outside of the "Motherland".
[editline]9th January 2012[/editline]
And TF2's translation is horrible and slow.
Ooooh I can never last hit. Either I hit them split second too early leaving them with a smidgen of health, and they die to a creep.
Or a split second too late and they die to a creep as my attack passes though their dead body milliseconds later.

Nobody can really help you with that, it comes with time. If youre a melee hero, pick up a Quelling blate, it helps a lot. Otherwise, the more dmg you have the easier it is.

Attack animations are an important factor though. I cant last hit for shit with someone like Zeus, but its really easy with someone like spectre.

It takes lots of practice. I've got something like 1000 games of dota-likes under my belt and I still don't make the 100 cs at 20 minutes guideline sometimes. It takes lots of practice and it's EXTREMELY important in dota 2. It's far more important in dota than it is in hon or lol.
I always find at the start of a match, I do really badly, because I still seem to think I do as much damage as I did the match before, so I fuck up really badly.

Yeah, this and a lot of the hard hitting late game heroes have abysmal base damage. Heroes like sniper and spectre do absolute shit for damage early game.

I think its a waste on pretty much everyone. Is there even a single hero that regularly picks it up?

Lion? Lina?
[QUOTE=Godrek;34122240]Or idiots keep running clueless of rupture. My last game I would always just rupture their storm because he would try to ult away and instant die and just give me HP to finish off the rest of his team.[/QUOTE]
isnt storm spirit supposed to be invulnerable when using ulti?
[QUOTE=Smashman;34126448]Lion? Lina?[/QUOTE]
But thats just for killstealing reasons(mostly). I've seen Zeus' use it too like that. Never seen a Dagon get picked up on a competative game though.
